Penn students, staff, and faculty came together on Feb. 22 to protest gun violence. Despite the rain, participants stood for an hour with umbrellas and paper signs indicating the date, location, and fatalities of recent mass shootings in the U.S., including the one that happened at Parkland, Florida on Feb. 14.

This past Saturday night, a committee of Wharton Graduate and Law students hosted their 14th annual "Fight Night" to raise money for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Philadelphia. This year's event was the most attended ever, bringing 2,500 graduate students from different schools across campus to the Palestra to cheer on the fighters. Fight Night Co-Chair and third-year Penn Law student John Kostelnak said this year’s event was the most expensive to organize compared with other Fight Nights in the past, but sold more tickets than ever before and the committee hopes to raise over $70,000.
